This is too funny not to post. http://youtu.be/uwp0K7Huisw Idiot A drove 12 hours from the US to come to this place in Ontario where Idiot B does all this stupid poo poo with cars and other creations. Idiot A decides he's going to race another guy, but before that takes his Mini out for some hooning, rolls it and pretty well totals out the car. So they pull the car into the shop and backyard it back up to highway condition.

Well maybe this will change your mind, haha. http://youtu.be/lcs8GbzDZD4 http://youtu.be/gARnphXuSqQ (Two views, first from the guy that owns the place) I love that this is what he decides to do AFTER getting his car "road worthy." thecobra fucked around with this message at 03:34 on Mar 20, 2012 |

I've seen a lot of examples of that with BMW rims, and here is a link of people with similar problems (no pictures, just discussion). http://forums.automotive.com/70/7771664/tires-wheels/why-isnt-bmw-owning-up-to-the-18-inch-wheel-cracki/index.html

tater_salad posted:In his defense the front end picture kinda makes it look like a 95 dodge / Chrysler something or other uhhh no it doesn't. It makes it look like a 96 + Dodge / Chrysler / Plymouth something or other. Almost an intrepid but the headlights give it away. That wasn't meant to sound as bad as it looks. Just saying that those three brands were badge engineered. You missed one, and also one year off. thecobra fucked around with this message at 17:47 on Mar 28, 2012 |

GnarlyCharlie4u posted:Cat note This reminds me of the time my girlfriend stayed over at my place in another city and had to park on the street overnight. She goes to start her car in the morning and notices a note under her wiper. Apparantly the woman living on the other side of the street didn't notice the large white Firebird parked across from her driveway and completely cold cocked the front driver's quarter and door. With her Toyota Echo. One of the smallest cars on the road. Anyways the note explained that she was willing to pay and to get in touch. After dealing with getting my girlfriend's tears under control, we took it to a body shop and got the $1500 estimate. Everything worked out well, but it was obvious why it went so smoothly when we flipped the note over. The note had been written on a slip of paper from the school that the neighbour worked at. It outlined in great detail the restrictions of employment at the school, including the possibility of termination of employment for things like divorce, any association with pornography(), and a whole lot of other Christian niceties. That was the one thing that made light of the whole situation. It was hilarious, and I really wish we kept the note for the sake of the sheer close mindedness of this particular school.

Ola posted:Geological failure, I suppose, but leads to mechanical carnage. Driver of tow truck jumps out 2 seconds before it goes. He said if he had been wearing a belt he would not have made it out. Saw that on MTV Live last night. The jumping out figures in with the "like a boss" series, such as these: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bln5wHevq24 (in) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M35EylUuZw4 (and out) thecobra fucked around with this message at 07:49 on Apr 5, 2012 |

Ridge_Runner_5 posted:There is a matching groove on that tensioner pulley. Does it have some sort of ridge or lip there? Is something dragging on the belt around there? More likely the belt ran for a bit with the split in it and left the polish on the parts it touched while the frayed ends did that.

At least they repaired it. Didn't they refuse recall on those diesels that hosed every owner over?

Is that truck a Dodge? I can't tell, and isn't that a problem with the Dodges?

Posted this picture on my friend's Facebook. He just bought one in the spring. His response: Yeah I recognize it, that's the exact picture I use when people ask me about a timing chain service on my car. 3000 in parts plus you have to pull the engine.
